Thank you to all the members who responded to this initiative.
The Special General Meeting was held last Thursday. With both proxy and 'in person' votes the decision was unanimous that we pursue amalgamation with GANEAA. Our next step is to meet with GANEAA and Regional Arts Victoria personnel to map a way forward. This is a very exciting time for both organisations. Warm regards, Sally On behalf of NEA NE. Artisans Inc A0090960Y 28 B&C Carrier Street, Benalla, Victoria 3672 www.northeastartisans.org www.facebook.com/NE.Artisans Attention all members of North East Artisans. You are hereby invited to a Special General Meeting of North East Artisans. The agenda item is to vote on the motion: That NEA (North East Artisans) and GANEAA (Goulburn and North East Arts Alliance) amalgamate to become a single body serving the arts community of North Eastern Victoria. The meeting will be held at "The Shed" Waminda Community House, 19 Ballintine Street, Benalla at 6.30 pm on Thursday 1st July. The meeting will last for approximately 30 minutes. Please RSVP northeastartisans@gmail.com if you plan to attend. (To ensure Covid-safe numbers) You may appoint a proxy, in writing, if you wish a committee member or other member to vote on your behalf. Abstract:
For the past few years NEA and GANEAA have largely been serving the same community and with similar purpose. Amalgamation would enable both organisations to draw on a wider pool of expertise and experience and to share roles, resources and responsibilities. The management committee envisages that a combined organisation, serving the arts in this region, will benefit members of both organisations (including those who already belong to both organisations) and avoid some of the duplication currently occurring. The NEA shop will remain a key feature allowing local artists and artisans to showcase and sell their work. Sally Wallace On behalf of the NEA Management Committee NE.

  Paint Presto is a wonderful complement to the Wangaratta Jazz Festival. On Day 2 It's most enjoyable to wonder between venues and come across the artists developing their work in the streets and in the outside venues. Last year on Day 2 (Saturday) 'Paint Day', Janet Leith could be found painting outside the Wangaratta Art Gallery next to the Jazz Festival's WPACC jazz venues; while Frank Burgers had a most enjoyable time along with some other artists in the Blues tent. The Paint Presto website is well worth visiting if you would like to find out more - https://www.paintpresto.com - and if you would like to apply. The last day for entries is October 30. |
